The Statue of Liberty has been the symbol of hope and freedom to millions of immigrants who have passed by her shining light as they have entered the New York harbor. Most of us have an immigration story somewhere in our family history. Usually, those stories are precious ones. Today’s news headlines, however, cast a different light on the entire immigration issue. The images of people running across our southern borders replace those of the boats arriving in New York. Thoughts of immigration differ, depending on where you live in the United States.

Immigration Law is a complex and high demand area of law for attorneys and paralegals. Let’s take a look at this controversial area of law and the role the paralegal plays.

What our Graduates have to say…

As an alumni of the American Institute for Paralegal Studies, I knew how good the classes and the school itself were, so when I decided to take advanced courses in order to further my career, I knew who to go to. The Advanced Corporate Law Program was incredibly challenging, but I enjoyed every minute of it. From the beginning, I was learning things that I could immediately use in my current position. The staff are amazing and were always flexible when I needed help. I highly recommend AIPS! In fact, I’m already thinking about taking the Advanced IP Program.
